English as an Additional Language (EAL)
For our students who need help with improving their English proficiency, we provide EAL support. Our EAL teachers are trained in teaching English to children of non-English speaking backgrounds.
Lessons are designed to help children take part in all aspects of school life by improving:
- Speaking skills
Allowing participation in group discussions in class and daily conversations - Listening skills
Being able to understand the teacher and their fellow students - Writing
Learning in functional ways so they can apply their skills in class activities
Intensive English Class
For Years 6 to 8 (age 11 to 14 years), we offer a specialised Intensive English Program to non-native English speakers who require more intensive English support to prepare them for mainstream schooling.
Students will attend small intensive classes for English, Maths, Science and Humanities. During these classes, they pick up other skills, such as the academic language of Science and Mathematics.
At AISM, students are given the opportunity to deepen areas of interest through school and community-based enrichment opportunities.

Learning Support
There is no Special Needs department in our school. However, we have learning enrichment teachers to cater for students with mild learning needs where the school is able. Opportunities for children needing support are subject to the School’s capacity and student’s individual needs.
For details, please contact our Admissions Department.
Enrichment & Extension
We believe that through exposure, students benefit from possible new interest areas into, through and beyond the core curriculum.
